Israel reports it carried out a preemptive strike against Iran, with authorities citing the threat of retaliation by drones and missiles, and the government declaring a nationwide state of emergency as the situation develops.
The US military destroyed a Houthi surface-to-air missile in Yemen that posed a threat to American aircraft, marking the latest engagement between Western militaries and the Iran-backed rebels. This preemptive action is part of a series of strikes against Houthi targets as they prepared to launch missiles into key international shipping lanes. The US and British forces have also conducted strikes against Houthi targets across Yemen in response to months of missile and drone attacks on commercial ships.
